Compromised?

Yesterday, a young reporter stopped in front of our house and asked if he could interview me about a controversial issue. I said OK and he hauled out his video equipment. Then, I noticed the logo on his van. Fox News! The evil network that spreads misinformation. Were my political values being comromised?

I decided not. This was just a local affiliate, the issue was the planned deer culling project, and the reporter assured me that I would not now be required to vote Republican.

Ben Nelson Retiring Ahead Of 2012 Election ยป

A good news, bad news story. The bad news is that the Democrats will probably lose this Senate seat, and maybe control of the Senate. The good news is that they are rid of this Senator from Nebraska who opposed or undermined many the Democratic initiatives. So what good is control when you have a mole in your midst?
